FRANKSVILLE, Wis. and EDISON, N.J., Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unico, a leading provider of high performance power electronics, manufactured in the United States and Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:EOSE) ("Eos"), America's leading innovator in the design, sourcing, and manufacturing of zinc-based long duration energy storage (LDES) systems, also manufactured in the United States, have signed a multi-year partnership. The strategic alliance marks the launch of Unico's new ultra compact and efficient power conversion products, setting a new standard for power conversion systems.
In April 2025, Unico signed an agreement to supply Eos with DC-to-DC converters over the next five years, creating a new product line to meet the demanding performance and cost requirements for energy storage solutions. The state of the art power converters are integrated with Z3, Eos's Znyth™ aqueous zinc battery systems, and are designed to deliver more of the available energy to the customer.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Eos to deliver innovative energy storage solutions," said Mike Canada, CEO of Unico. "Our converter products enhance the performance of energy storage systems like Eos. By combining Unico's engineered power electronics with their unique zinc battery technology, we're enabling more resilient, sustainable energy infrastructure responsibly and reliably."
Unico's cutting edge design integrates high-speed switching controls and provides our customers with industry leading efficiency, compactness and power density. The new products include advanced algorithms to maximize the performance from SiC and GaN devices.
"Our innovative systems provide our customers with a proven and reliable energy storage alternative, and we are excited to bring our offerings to our customers," said Pranesh Rao, SVP, Storage Systems Engineering of Eos Energy Enterprises. "DawnOS, Eos' proprietary controls, software and analytics platform, combines the Z3 batteries and controls with Unico's products giving our customers one of the safest, most scalable, efficient, and sustainable energy storage options available."
Both Eos' and Unico's products are designed and manufactured in the U.S., aligning with federal clean energy goals and domestic sourcing incentives. Together, both companies demonstrate that manufacturing leadership can be sustained and scaled here in the United States.
